I just upgraded to WordPress 2.1! Considering the kind of code that goes into blogging software like this, it’s impressive when it all gets updated without a hitch. php, SQL, CSS… some of this stuff just makes my eyes cross. I was clearly not “born to code.” But I just followed the very explicit instructions provided from the fine folks at WordPress… and 20 minutes later, I’m updated.

This newest upgrade adds some features to the editor, autosave, upload manager, etc. Here’s the big list of new features.

I’m still blown away that this is a completely free application available to anyone with a hosting service. The Open Source community indeed does some amazing things. Linux… Open Office… WordPress…

Microsoft should be worried…very worried.

My cousin Tammy died last week. I put together a quick video tribute played at her funeral last Saturday.
